My Roof, My Rules!

By: Mia L. Hazlett 4/27/12 I was watching this movie called Trust the other night.  It's by David Schwimmer and it was excellent.  It was about a teen (maybe 14 or 15) who was texting back and forth with a "boy" she met on-line.  They finally agreed to meet and it ended up being a… Continue reading My Roof, My Rules!

Stupid Parents say Stupid Things

By:  Mia L. Hazlett 4/27/2012 Unfortunately kids don't come with directions and you don't have to have a license to have one.  A stupid person can go ahead and have a baby.  In fact, two stupid people can conceive a child or two or three or....  When I say stupid, I mean they lack all… Continue reading Stupid Parents say Stupid Things

Cut the Crap!

By: Mia L. Hazlett 4/5/12 Honestly, if I hear one more time in my life, "boys will be boys,"  I will just scream.  I will scare the crap out of whoever just said it.  They won't get it and I'll look like a nut job.  I've heard this saying my entire life, right up to… Continue reading Cut the Crap!

Goals, Goals, Goals

By: Mia L. Hazlett 3/19/12 Setting goals is one thing.  For most it's an extremely easy task.  Achieving them is another thing.  That takes a whole different mindset.  I've found those I've encountered that find it easy to set goals, don't have the honest game plan or intention for follow through.  They make a new… Continue reading Goals, Goals, Goals

Sometimes We All Like Each Other at the Same Time

By: Mia L. Hazlett 3/19/12 This past weekend was one of those weekends that was just essential in my family's survival to not kill each other.  We all got along.  It is very rare for all three of us to spend from Friday through Sunday night together without a spell of crying, fighting, biting, kicking,… Continue reading Sometimes We All Like Each Other at the Same Time

Healthy Dirty Kids

By: Mia L. Hazlett 3/16/12 Call me old school or whatever, but I'm not real big on the whole hand sanitizer thing.  If I think your hands are dirty, go wash them with soap and water.  I'm not touching you and you're not touching me if all you use is hand sanitizer after you just… Continue reading Healthy Dirty Kids

When Daddy Doesn’t Show

By: Mia L. Hazlett 3/16/12 The Window Wait.  That's what I call it.  Sitting by the window waiting for what I know is not going to happen.  When my husband and I first separated, Sundays and Mondays were his days with the kids.  Sundays began with a 10 or 11am pick-up and Mondays he would… Continue reading When Daddy Doesn’t Show

Fun Dad vs. Meaniac

By: Mia L. Hazlett 3/15/12 My youngest has coined a made-up word for me, "Meaniac."  Whenever she doesn't get her way, I'm a Meaniac.  Okay.  I'll take it, it means I'm doing my job.  But like I've stated before, me and her father are separated and I am the custodial parent.  I have found for… Continue reading Fun Dad vs. Meaniac

How to Make the Best Parent

By: Mia L. Hazlett 3/14/12 First of all, accept there is no perfect parent.  I believe there are good parents.  I believe there are bad parents.   But perfect, those who believe they are, are the worst. I do believe there are parents out there that are doing their best.  I believe I am one… Continue reading How to Make the Best Parent

When You’re Older

By: Mia L. Hazlett 3/14/12 If there is a mean mother, could you please raise your hand or stand.  I stand with pride.  After ten years of parenting, you have to come at me with more than "mean."  Again the name of this blog, Mommy Not Friend.  I really don't care if my kids like… Continue reading When You’re Older
